What if she hit him? Not saying I know any of the facts of this particular case, but since everyone is speculating let's keep in mind that a lot of women nowadays get pretty physical themselves. The days of the totally demure genteel young woman seem to be long gone. I could easily see a situation where she could have bruises from an altercation but it could be from her trying to strike him and him defending himself. Granted, the actions he takes to defend himself against a woman should be measured, not a knockout punch like that delivered by Ray Rice.

----OK Why not another angle----Will the charges effect the outcome of the election??? LOL

correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't he already suspended from the team for academic reasons and on his was back to Florida anyway before this happened. if so does it really matter what the outcome of this case is in regards to the team?

I don't know if he was in Florida but he wasn't suspended from the team, he had just been obviously held out of games due to eligibility issues.

It was reported on October 3rd. How fast are you expecting it to happen? The police have to investigate, put together all the facts, interview people etc.. and send their findings to D.A.'s office before anything happens. If charges are filed, you have to seek an attorney and ready a defense. This takes time.

I guess it's more like "what's taking so long for this video?" Because it sounds like this is a pretty cut and dry situation. He mentioned from day 1 he did not punch her and that this video will exonerate him. If they find this video, then he's either NG or G. Most important thing for them right now is to find the video.

From what we understand, they have the video but again, very few things are black and white. The police have to go through it and decide if they want to file charges and then it needs to be send to the D.A.'s office for their review to make sure the charges will stand. Unfortunately, its not a process that moves extremely fast.

Cheap shot? If the coach did it who cares if he is married to her so is Ray rice and a million other men to their beat wives...on to the student....this is some serious stuff...UL shouldn't play around with this. If national media gets ahold of this could ded be a bad look for the program

Agreed!!! there is no excuse for it.
